ROCK ON!!!

Today, Miss Robinson won a Grammy award for singing and song writing. As we all know, Miss Robinson has honored us with performances over the past few years. Her singing and guitar playing are entertaining and inspiring. We love you Miss Robinson, but not in a gross way.

Miss Robinson gave an unscheduled performance in room 272 this morning for special "VIP" fans. We love you!!!

MRS. REING CHAMPION RUNNER AND CHEERLEADER

Miss McArdle competed in and won the Boston Marathon. She has been in training for months for this run. Miss McArdle gave an interview, in which she called her victory, "the proudest moment of her life".

It would be difficult to find a more satisfying achievement, but we just learned that Miss McArdle was also named "Most Valuable Cheerleader" by the Cheerleader's Association of America.

She not only runs the race, but she wins it and then cheers for herself. Go Miss McArdle! Give me a G.. Give me an R...Give me an E..Give me and A..Give me a T...what does it spell GREAT!!!!

MOTHER OF THE DECADE

Our very own Mrs. Powers was named the "Mother of the Decade" by the Parenting Association of America (PAA). This is a great honor, and we asked the PAA, what made Mrs. Powers so outstanding. The outstanding qualities include: her ability to cook without dairy products, being a world class baker of birthday cakes, and being the most patient, calm parent in the world. In addition, we understand that she does yoga and likes to kayak. Where does she find the time? We interviewed Mrs. Powers' daughter, who told us that Mrs. Powers "always feeds me when I am hungry, she keeps me clean and warm and makes funny faces whenever I am sad." What more could any child want? If only we were all as lucky!
